Um, Dude I don't know anyone under 70 named Herb...
Did they not teach them there Maths at this school you claim to have graduated from ?
I looked out at the Class of '72 at the mush faced grandmas that were once pretty hippy girls and thought "Damn, I'm glad I didn't marry any of you."

Statistically, 63.9% of respondents don't answer truthfully when asked their age.
Class of '84, or 84 people in your class? Because Class of '84 would be having their 40th this year, not 50th.
That guy weighs 1/4 of the average SH poster. In fact, that guy weighs less than everybody's PRS rig.
Dann….I didn’t realize so many of you were so fucking old. What are you even doing on a computer? I know you aren’t on a phone because Jitterbugs don’t have internet.
Class of'77 here. Went to my 10th and 20th. Decided to not go to anymore, due to the fact that It was a small country school. Had 77 graduates (out of 77), and they all looked rough to me. I seemed to have been the only one that had done something in my life (most still lived within 20 miles of their families homes), went places. Hell, five of them went to prison and a couple had passed.
I said, I think there's a black cloud hang'n over this place, so I passed on the other reunions. I don't stay in touch anymore (95% libs anyways). Hope I don't regret it. So, yeah, I'm a geezer.
Alas, I've got you schlubs to bitch and moan at. Mac

Careful there..........you gonna confuse him
.........hell I'm confused now.
It's young punks like you that give us the will to keep living. You do so much stupid shit while clowning your way through life, that old guys like us sit back and enjoy the shit show that is you. One day, when you get past committing dumbassery and making a multitude of mistakes, you will have learned from them (hopefully) and earned wisdom and the right to take our spot. It is only then that you will understand how cool it is to be old and watch the young punks do stupid shit.
Class of '75. Never been to a reunion, very unlikely that I'll ever go. Most of the people I went to school with acted like the world revolved around them. People with that attitude usually never change. I have zero interest in putting up with any of that shit. Had to once, don't have to anymore.
Since I'm in the next higher age bracket in less than 6 months, I went with that....just to skew the poll results a little older
Old, falling apart at 37 to 39 years old....
I wondered about that myself. Interesting if the poll is anonymous. I was initially surprised that the % in the 20s and 30s isn`t somewhat higher. Then I thought about the equipment that a lot of the shooters on SH buy and use. It ain`t cheap! People further up in their earnings trajectory ( somewhat older, usually ) can better afford those things.

You hit the nail right on the head.
I love being my age. I don't complain about it because I'm not super old yet, but do have some aches and pains of course because I was not kind to myself during the dumbassery years and the usual other crap that comes with age. I have worked my butt off my whole life (I possess a work ethic I hope our younger fellas carry on) and EARNED the right to buy big boy toys the hard way. I am not wealthy, nor do I want to be. However, 25 acres, a small home, family, true friends and some guns I can shoot in my own yard is the reward for getting old.
Enjoy life when you get there fellas. We're going to have to hand the reins to these young punks who are in the process of shaping their lives and gaining wisdom I hope.
The Cubans here have contributed a great deal to Florida. Those old guys rolling cigars in Tampa started a pretty cool culture in our State. Not to mention they're hard core Republicans because they know what socialism is and risked their lives to get away from it. I love how the Democrats assumed because they're hispanic they had their vote. When they came callin' to Miami and Tampa campaigning, the awakening they received from our Cuban brothers/sisters was epic.

www.snipershide.com Class of `66. Guess my high school experience was quite a bit different. My senior year, if it wasn`t the best year of my life, it has to be in the top 2! All I did was play ball, hunt and fish with my buddies, and date my cheerleader girlfriend. Wouldn`t have missed my 50th reunion for anything.
Yeah, the one that had just the one hand print because the other hand was busy.
Same here. High School was great for me. That's funny... I dated a cheerleader as well. Renee... Ahhh to be young again! It was odd because I was more of a nerd/redneck and didn't play football. I had the gift of gab, my Honda ATC with a shotgun and Renee on the back. Good times.
Sharting at 40? Might want to see a doctor.
That is why I rarely get to sleep all through the night. Always have to pee.
Now we're talking my language.
When I moved back out to the lake and boyhood fishing spots, I looked online for the most popular mainstay shad imitation lure we used back then to slay bass and crappie with.
I finally found one, on Ebay under "Antique fishing lures". Collectors were offering outrageous bids for it.
Wear it with pride young man!
60th next year can't wait I'll be the only one there, well maybe.
I did dig out my old tackle box in storage from the early 70's. It was like uncovering a treasure trove of 'antique lures', some still in the box.
Question for the board: Do you shoot solely centerfire, rimfire, or both?
Interesting ( though not particularly unexpected ) results over on Rimfirecentral. Vast majority in the 60-69 and 70+ categories.

What are you trying to say? Old farts don't like recoil?
I'm offended!
I shoot a 7mm Rem Mag about three times a week. LOL
50 people in my class. I went to my 10 year and haven't been back since. I wasn't really very close with any of them anyway.
I stay until my lumbago starts barkin'. I take a lot of breaks to go piss, check my drawers, etc...
